Plans To Strengthen Its Operations In The UK
Boardclic will use funding for selling efforts, expanding into different European markets, growing their UK branch and building up the company.
Monica Lagercrantz, co-founder and CEO of Boardclic, said, ‘Corporate codes and regulations are increasing dramatically. This means that large organizations around the world must abide by exceptional standards of stakeholder engagement and corporate governance. Essentially, this means that modern boardrooms have increasingly demanding responsibilities and duties. There are no tools available to track compliance, effectiveness and alignment in C-suites and boards. Instead of GESG, BoardClic fills this void by promoting the G in ESG.
Mikael Ahlstrom is the Chairman of Curitas Ventures. He had positive things to say about BoardClic’s progress thus far. He also mentioned the impressive improvements BoardClic made in helping many European companies improve their boardroom and management processes. Mikael decided to partner with BoardClic because of their emphasis on digitalization and data collection— he believed this would create real and tangible value for businesses. Additionally, Mikael believed that BoardClic’s commitment to environmental sustainability and growth would only increase with their partnership with Curitas Ventures.
